The lab in advanced systems programming techniques strengthens the attendees' C++ skills in preparation for our practically oriented courses. Interacting with the compiler and the basic tool chain, programming with pointers and threads and the writing of good code are exercised here intensively. This lab lasts for one week and takes place before the start of the winter term.

Tightly coupled with the lecture of Microkernel-based Operating Systems we offer a very challenging lab. Your tasks will be to design and implement an application on top of a microkernel together with all the enabling operating system services such as drivers, terminal support, data space manager and scheduler.

Starting in the 5th semester, interested students can attend the EZAG Colloquium, where regular talks about current research topics are given by staff and advanced students or by guest speakers. An introduction to the central research area of the group - security and real-time in microkernel-based systems - is best achieved by actively or initially passively participating in this working group. Within the scope of this activity we also conduct research and advanced seminars.
